Simple and Delicious Mexican Bean Salad

You’re off to a BBQ this weekend and they asked if you could bring a salad, but what kind of salad?! You want something easy, fast and delicious, right? Better yet, if you can get a compliment or two on how good your salad is, even better 🙂

Well, let me introduce you to my tried and tested Mexican Bean Salad.

I have made this SO many times and people always ask for the recipe.

The best part is you don’t have to stick to the exact rules of the recipe (as far as the beans go). You can literally make a great salad and clean out a few cans from the pantry as well.

Keep this salad on hand in the fridge for:

Salad topper – so great to add a little punch to an otherwise boring green salad

Grab and go lunch – I keep in small tupperware containers, so it’s ready for me

A quick, healthy snack – yep, beans for a snack is a great alternative and will fill you up

1 540 ml (19 oz) tin of mixed beans

1 398 ml (14 oz) tin of black beans

1 398 ml (14 oz) beans of your choice (kidney, cannellini, etc)

1/2 red pepper chopped

1/2 green pepper chopped

1 cup frozen corn

1/2 red onion finely chopped

1/4 cup cilantro chopped (my family doesn’t like cilantro so I use flat leaf parsley)

Note: If you don’t have the exact bean quantities – that’s okay, just use what you have on hand. I promise, it will taste great no matter what.

This is one of those recipes that tastes great on the day you make it, but tastes even better the next day or the day after. So if you have the chance to make the day before you’re eating, it will be even more glorious!
